    The Great Pirate

    I’m a pirate, can’t you tell?

    I have the hat, the patch,

    The yell….Aarrgh!

    Without a ship,

    I cannot sail.

    But never fear,

    I will prevail!

    I’ll burry me treasure

    Under this, under that.

    And without this here map,

    Mom may never find that cat.

    I will flood all the tubs

    And create my own sea,

    I’ll shout from the roof

    How pirate life is for me!

    Oh, the great pirate I will be.

    Einstein's Theory

    "Sometimes I hear voices but I know I’m not crazy.

    Sometimes they will laugh or even shout!

    And when they speak, it’s real low. It just sounds like a mumble,

    I can’t tell what they’re talking about.

    Do you think we have ghosts? I don’t know what to think.

    I hear them the loudest at night.

    There are thuds and long creeks but during the day it is quiet,

    I wonder if they’re afraid of the light.

    Wait! Afraid of the light? What if they are vampires!

    We’re too young to die! I’m only four and you’re nine!"

    "Oh, calm down, they’re not vampires.
